Dance offers children and young people an opportunity to explore, discover and express their experiences of the world around them, understand themselves in relation to others, and is a way of being seen and celebrated.

- Learn the basic elements of dance
- Explore the benefits of dance

Artsmark
This video touches on using dance as a tool for developing health and emotional wellbeing, whole child development, and inclusion and access – all areas of priority for Artsmark schools. If this video becomes the starting point for developing dance within your school, make sure you reference it in your Statement of Impact. Even though this is not a live, traditional INSET session, you can still use it to partly evidence the CPD criteria.
If you would like to discuss how an Artsmark journey might support your school, the next steps, and for any questions, please book onto one our upcoming support calls.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at info@icandance.org.uk or on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
